About the Latour
The Shindo Laboratory Latour is a floorstanding field-coil loudspeaker system built around a field high-frequency compression driver on a horn, a field low-frequency woofer, and separate outboard power supply units for the field coils. It is a high-sensitivity (100 dB/W/m), 16 ohm, SET-friendly design with horn-loaded mids/highs and a large woofer (typically 15-inch in the full-size system) for deep bass, specified from 30 Hz to 20 kHz, with 30 W power handling. Several configurations and sizes have been produced using Shindo's Latour horn with 12-inch or 15-inch woofers depending on room size, but all share the same field-coil, high-efficiency concept aimed at use with low-power tube amplifiers.
